Hemophilia

Hemophilia Haemophilia is a hereditary hemophilia characterized by being unable to clot blood or being incapable of clotting even though it suffered minor injuries. This disease is caused by the deficiency of certain blood proteins (called factors) that are involved in blood clotting and are usually sudden genetic mutations. Therefore, the blood coagulation process is extended without a factor. For example, hemophilia has different types of hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Hemophilia A is caused by the lack of factor VIII.

According to the National Hemophilia Foundation, the two main types of hemophilia are A and B. A is Factor VIII deficiency, Hemophilia B is Factor IX deficiency, and Hemophilia C is Factor XI deficiency. A woman inherits two XX chromosomes. One is from her mother and the other is a chromosome from her father (XX). Male inherits XY chromosome from father (XY). This means that if the son inherits the X chromosome from the mother of hemophilia, he will become haemophilia. However, since women accept two X chromosomes, only the parent with the defective gene will develop the disease.

Men with hemophilia genes on the X chromosome become haemophilia. If there is only one hemophilia gene on the X chromosome, that woman is a "haemophilia vector" and you can pass that gene to your child. Sometimes carriers have low levels of coagulation factors and have symptoms of haemophilia including bleeding. Protein in blood coagulation factor blood stops or suppresses bleeding by platelets. If you or your child has bleeding problems, your doctor asks about your personal and family medical history. This will reveal bleeding problems including you and your family, women and girls. However, some people with haemophilia recently have no family history of this disease.

The National Institute of Cardiopulmonary Blood Research (NHLBI) is leading or sponsors a number of studies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders.

Hemophilia is the most famous hemorrhagic disease. If a person has haemophilia, blood will not coagulate properly and bleeding will persist. Hemophilia patients are called haemophilia patients or bleeding patients. Haemorrhagic diseases such as haemophilia are caused by damage to the thrombosis process in the body. The coagulation process includes platelets and plasma proteins called coagulation factors. Coagulation begins when platelets adhere to the site of vascular injury. There is no protein in plasma that coagulates blood
